Now all my 1/4 bits work!

Haven't found a thing wrong with it! Easy to remove to use my Amana Slotter bitset.

better shank reducer than manfacturers

This shank reducer was very well milled so it fit smoothly. The bits slide in and out without effort but maintains a very good grip on them. My OEM shank reducer was too hard and didn't grip the bits tight enough.

Exactly correct.

Fits exactly and allows my 1/2" router chuck to use 1/4" bits.

good product

good product seems to hold the 1/4 in bits with no issues and far cheaper then buying a new collet for the shaper
